It's not easy to raise flowers in the city. In order to make the flowers at home have good soil when changing pots, we can use the usual time to prepare, so that it will be more convenient when using
1. Prepare some fallen pine needles, willow leaves or poplar leaves. Usually, you can take a plastic bag when you go out for a run or walk. When you meet it, you can put some in it.
2. First lay a layer of soil on the bottom of the basin, then lay a layer of fallen leaves, then add soil, and then add fallen leaves, so that one layer can be repeated for 3 to 4 times..
3. After paving, pour water, add some ferrous sulfate, and compact it down, then seal the retting soil with plastic bag.
4. During retting, some ferrous sulfate can be added at regular intervals to ensure the acidity of the soil. Generally 4 ~ 6 months can get acid soil.
5. Acid soil can be used to grow Aglaia odorata, camellia, jasmine, gardenia and azalea.
In addition to using leaves to make acid soil, we can also use some tips to change the alkaline soil into acid soil.
1. Vinegar (preferably rice vinegar without salt). When vinegar and water are mixed in the proportion of 1:50 to the acid loving flowers, the acidity and alkalinity of the soil can be changed rapidly, and the alkaline soil can be changed into the slightly acid soil.
2. Peel water. Don't throw the apple peel and the leftover fruit core. Soak them in the water for one night, and then pour the water on the flowers. It can improve the alkaline soil and gradually become acidic. You can try gardenia and jasmine at home.
3. Rice washing water. Many flower friends say that rice washing water is the best way to use. It can change the pH value of soil and can be used as fertilizer. It's true, but we must pay attention to first ripening, adding water to seal, two weeks after the temperature is high, we can ripen well, and then mix it with water 1:20 and pour it to the flowers.
With the acid soil, the jasmine grows well and has the guarantee! So what else should we pay attention to in the maintenance of Jasmine?
1. Enough light.
Jasmine likes light. If you put it in a room with insufficient sunlight, its leaves will grow very thin and easy to grow in vain. Abundant sunshine can make Jasmine grow stronger and blossom more easily.
2. Do not over water.
Jasmine is more drought resistant. Generally, wait until the soil is dry for more than half before watering. Once a week, it's easy to grow in vain.
3. Fertilization should keep up with.
During the growth period of jasmine, we should pay attention to fertilization. We can apply 0.1% potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution, or we can use chicken manure and bone meal as the base fertilizer in the soil. Nutrition is enough to produce more branches and buds.
4. Pay attention to trimming.
The old branches of Jasmine are not easy to bloom, and timely pruning can promote the generation of new branches and more flowers. There are two principles of pruning:
① in the flowering period, if the flower opens slowly, pay attention to cutting off the weak bud and the leaves near the big bud, so as to ensure the opening of the flower.
② in the spring and Autumn period, Jasmine can be cut again, leaving only two pairs of leaves for each branch, two growth nodes, and others. Heavy pruning is to promote the development of lateral branches and make Jasmine more prosperous.
